Sorry for the lateness of my reply.  I've inspected this system and can 
find no trace of intrusion.  I also reviewed all flows to and from this 
computer along with the HTTP requests.  It appears the user was looking 
at a lightning deal promotion but the total number of GET and POST 
requests(which are for every page, image, whatever) total only 1421 over 
the last 48 hours and seems to be spread around with other browsing 
traffic appropriate for a local user.

I humbly submit that my IP and possibly other IPs might have been caught 
in the dragnet.  If you would like evidence either for your own 
investigation, or to help resolve this matter, please let me know.

Just a taste for those watching at home:
